Reparing Screens
A tear in a window screen
means easy access for household pests. Here's how you can
fix those holes... |
You shouldn't walk barefoot on your carpets. The oils in
your skin rub off on the carpet and attract dust and dirt.
Just wear socks or slippers whenever possible! 
Static electricity also attracts dirt to the carpet. Once
a week, mix together one and a quarter cups of water with
a quarter cup of fabric softener. Spray the carpet with
that solution and you should have a lot less dirt! 
An easy way to get your carpet cleaner is to sprinkle the
entire area with cornstarch about half an hour before you
vacuum. Then when you vacuum the carpet it will look
bright and clean. 
For various spots and stains on the carpet, try window
cleaner. It will remove a lot of those problems quickly
and easily. Just spray it on and blot it up.
